Twenty years ago this clip would have blown me away.
On an objective level, the song is very good - more for the instrumentation rather than the melody in the vocals. I think I've heard so much prog in recent years, especially the "new prog" from people like Anathema, that this song does not have the impact on me it would once have had.
Let's get this in perspective though - the album is on the Billboard charts, and it's a hundred times better than most of what's on the charts. More power to Kansas and others still making real music.
